Using RestTemplate in Spring. Exception- Not enough variables available to expand

问题:

I am trying to access the contents of an API and I need to send a URL using RestTemplate.

String url1 = "http://api.example.com/Search?key=52ddafbe3ee659bad97fcce7c53592916a6bfd73&term=&limit=100&sort={\"price\":\"desc\"}";  OutputPage page = restTemplate.getForObject(url1, OutputPage .class); 

But, I am getting the following error.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not enough variable values available to expand '"price"' at org.springframework.web.util.UriComponents$VarArgsTemplateVariables.getValue(UriComponents.java:284) at org.springframework.web.util.UriComponents.expandUriComponent(UriComponents.java:220) at org.springframework.web.util.HierarchicalUriComponents.expandInternal(HierarchicalUriComponents.java:317) at org.springframework.web.util.HierarchicalUriComponents.expandInternal(HierarchicalUriComponents.java:46) at org.springframework.web.util.UriComponents.expand(UriComponents.java:162) at org.springframework.web.util.UriTemplate.expand(UriTemplate.java:119) at org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate.execute(RestTemplate.java:501) at org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate.getForObject(RestTemplate.java:239) at hello.Application.main(Application.java:26) 

If I remove the sort criteria, it is working properly. I need to parse the JSON using sort criteria. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

回答1:

The root cause is that RestTemplate considers curly braces {...} in the given URL as a placeholder for URI variables and tries to replace them based on their name. For example

{pageSize} 

would try to get a URI variable called pageSize. These URI variables are specified with some of the other overloaded getForObject methods. You haven't provided any, but your URL expects one, so the method throws an exception.

One solution is to make a String object containing the value

String sort = "{\"price\":\"desc\"}"; 

and provide a real URI variable in your URL

String url1 = "http://api.example.com/Search?key=52ddafbe3ee659bad97fcce7c53592916a6bfd73&term=&limit=100&sort={sort}"; 

You would call your getForObject() like so

OutputPage page = restTemplate.getForObject(url1, OutputPage.class, sort); 

I strongly suggest you do not send any JSON in a request parameter of a GET request but rather send it in the body of a POST request.

You can URL encode the parameter values:

String url1 = "http://api.example.com/Search?key=52ddafbe3ee659bad97fcce7c53592916a6bfd73&term=&limit=100&sort=";  org.apache.commons.codec.net.URLCodec codec = new org.apache.commons.codec.net.URLCodec(); url1 = url1 + codec.encode("{\"price\":\"desc\"}"); OutputPage page = restTemplate.getForObject(url1, OutputPage.class);
